Oregon State University swine herd records of four genetic
groups were analyzed to determine: (1) the association of occurrence
of a small litter (≤ 7) at birth with size of subsequent litters
for gilts and sows, sepa ...

A long standing problem has been the question of what maps to select for acquisition in a college map library. This thesis addresses
the problem and provides a carto-bibliography of basic maps for a map library. Followi ...

This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from
the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including
critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions
for both huma ...

The critical buckling load for round tapered columns with variable
end fixity is presented. The theory used is presented together
with the general solution for the resulting differential equation. This
general solutio ...

The concentration of chlorophyll in natural bodies of water is
commonly determined as a means to rapidly estimate the phytoplankton
biomass. The literature gives numerous warnings, however, as to the
problems involved ...

Critical skyline and mainline tensions were identified as the conditions necessary for successful carriage passage uphill over an
intermediate support jack. These critical tensions were measured during field tests and c ...

It is well established that the extended range V(I) transition behavior in
filamentary superconducting composites depends strongly on the processing
conditions of the composite. Based on previous work, a model proposed ...

Although teams are a common method of structuring work activities,
there is still much concern over their effectiveness. The primary purpose
of this study was to describe the current state of teamwork training in
Oreg ...

A model reduction method for stable, linear, time-invariant,
continuous systems is critically studied. This
method, proposed by Prof. Ouyang, is based on the concept
of power dispersion and the least-squared estimatio ...

This thesis evaluates the current break-and-burn ageing method for the southern
stock (U.S. west coast) of sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria). Differences in growth
rates between the northern (north of Vancouver Island, BC ...

This thesis explored the experiences of four Student Affairs practitioners working within Multicultural Affairs (MA). The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how professionals within MA offices were developi ...

The two-fold purpose of this study was to identify critically important factors that affect the
meaningful assessment of student learning outcomes and study why they were critically
important. A three-round Delphi proc ...

Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is an important safety parameter for the design of nuclear
reactors. The most commonly used predictive tool for determination of CHF is a look-up
table developed using tube data with an average ...

Campus administrators are partially responsible for how a campus responds to a critical incident and how the students and outside community are impacted. It is important for administrators responding to critical incident ...
